Few works in the literature have reviewed the outcome compared with large joint replacement surgery, which is considered a benchmark for operative restoration of patients' quality of life.
The strongest association was with a history of large joint orthopaedic surgery at baseline irrespective of whether the SA developed in a prosthetic joint: HR 2.45 (1.90–3.17).
We conducted the first and so far the largest OA genome-wide linkage scan, on over 500 affected sibling pairs ascertained by large-joint replacement surgery.
For the purpose of this analysis, we have considered only large joint replacements (shoulder, elbow, hip and knee) because when reviewing reports of small joint surgery, it was difficult to distinguish between soft-tissue procedures and arthroplasty.
Unfortunately, open SI joint surgery is invasive, requiring bone harvesting and large incisions, and necessitates hospital stays and lengthy periods of non-weight bearing.

We included 40 surgical patients who had undergone cardiac surgery, mostly coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic arch replacement (n = 23), major abdominal surgery such as bowel resection and oesophagectomy (n = 5), laryngectomy (n = 4), hip joint surgery (n = 4), thoracic surgery (n = 2), large vessel surgery (n = 1), or spine surgery (n = 1).
Despite technical advances in orthopaedic surgery, there remain many patient-related factors that influence the outcome of large joint arthroplasty [ 4- 8].
Have we seen large, joint, sophisticated exercises?
Surgical interventions include arthrocentesis, arthroscopy, and open joint surgery.
